So I just got back yesterday and took a look at my plants. Had been gone about 2 weeks. The plants looked healthy but for some yellowing and what I initially thought to be chemical burns. I had left a 32 gallon barrel with 1/4 the amount of sups to reduce the chance of burning and to be constantly giving feed. Now that I think of it though and keep looking at these plants I'm starting to think it's actually nutrient deficiency.. mainly because the discoloration is starting from the bottom of the plant and moving upwards. I'm thinking it's calmag, phosphorus and potassium deficiency because she's in almost in 8th week and the buds are fat but she just doesn't have enough and they're starving. Any vets can concur with my opinion?
Need some advice

They may be hungry but just get them back on their normal, balanced feed. Lower leaves often just start going bad because they are so far from light or in this instance the plant wasn't getting enough feed so started stealing mobile nutes from the older fan leaves as is normal. N,P,K, Zn, Mg and some Ca are mobile. Everything else, mostly micronutrients is immobile meaning once the plant has used it it stays there forever and when the source of those nutrients runs out your newest growth will start going wonky.
The few tops I can see in your pics look fine so I wouldn't worry. Probably wouldn't hurt to remove a lot of those old fan leave but not the healthiest ones. They should stay for backup should the plant need extra nutrients it can steal from them.
Good luck!
